Post Tour Du France

Yes yes,

Some of you might think that I might be a little bit slow to update anything to do with Le Tour but anyway, I think it is a good time to have a consolidated summary on the win. Alberto Contador did it again after missing last year's Tour due to Team Astana not allowed to race on the Tour De France. He show the world again that he is the man to beat and his ability to climb and time trial just blown anyone away. Fabian Cancellera (Olympic Time Trial Champion - Beijing 2008) show the world in stage one just how good the Swiss Maestro will go.

Of course there is the Schleck Brothers, Andy Schleck and Frank Schleck that keep everyone on their toes, especially Andy who went on to be the 1st Runner-up for the Tour and best Youth and wear the White Jersey. Of Course, the is Cadel Evans, Denis Menchov, Tom Boonen, Levi Leimpeimer, George Hincapie and Lance Armstrong. Lance may be third this year but with a broken Collarbone and fresh out of Giro d'Italia, I think next year will be Lance's Year. But of course, Contador is 10 years younger and we have not seen the best of him....and the Green Jersey, My heart goes out to Mark Cavenish....he could have got the Point Classification in the bags.
